## 🧸 Childhood Under the Rubble... and Dreams Washed Away by the Rain **#GazaChildren #LostChildhood #WarGeneration** Look at their faces... Do you see children? Or do you see men and women with small features, aged prematurely by pain? In Gaza, childhood is no longer about games and laughter in the park, but rather: * **A displacement bag** instead of a school bag. * **The sound of airplanes** instead of children's songs. * **Searching for a morsel of food** instead of running after a ball. Childhood has been lost in the cold corners of tents, and dreams have drowned in the mud of winter. A child in Gaza today knows the meaning of "displacement," "hunger," and "loss" better than they know the names of their toys. **These little ones:** Shiver from the cold, but their hearts hold a patience that astounds the world. They are not asking for the impossible; they are only asking for **their right to be children**; May they sleep without fear, and wake up to a roof that protects them, not a tent torn apart by the wind. **O world...** Behind every number you see in the news, there is a childhood being crushed, and a laughter being stifled. Save what remains of their innocence, for the future passes through their sorrowful eyes.

In Gaza, childhood is no longer about games and laughter in the park, but rather:

* **A displacement bag** instead of a school bag.

* **The sound of airplanes** instead of children's songs.

* **Searching for a morsel of food** instead of running after a ball.

Childhood has been lost in the cold corners of tents, and dreams have drowned in the mud of winter. A child in Gaza today knows the meaning of "displacement," "hunger," and "loss" better than they know the names of their toys.

**These little ones:**

**O world...** Behind every number you see in the news, there is a childhood being crushed, and a laughter being stifled. Save what remains of their innocence, for the future passes through their sorrowful eyes.

My 85-year-old father: "How do you make money from your phone?" Me: "It's complicated, Dad." Him: "More complicated than surviving WWII?" Me: "...Point taken." Perspective is everything. Our challenges aren't that complicated. #Perspective #WarGeneration #Gratitude #KeepItSimple

Fuzzy stuff alert. 🚨 Next door neighbour just phoned to thank us for his birthday balloons. He’s out with his lady friend for champagne lunch & dressed to the nines. He’s 96 today. Just how amazing are that generation? 🥰#goldenoldies #birthdayboy #wargeneration #NeverGiveUp

For a bit of light-heartedness at this time, my brother phoned our 97yr old Nan to ask if she needed anything... “I’m rationing the fags but do need some more whisky..” Love her ❤️ 🤣 #wargeneration #stoicism #priorities
